Bio

As a local realtor in Indianapolis I am committed to the highest level of personal service and to meeting the needs of my clients. I have built a reputation for providing trustworthy, well-researched advice to my clients and am passionate about providing the best possible service. In an ever-changing market, I am with you every step of the way. Currently work as a Realtor in Indianapolis with multiple properties listed for sale at all times. My specialty is the downtown marketplace to include condominiums, townhomes, new builds and historic homes. I also currently own a real estate investment company that works in the purchasing of homes in need of renovations. In 2014 I purchase 36 homes with for $250k and have sold most at profit margins of nearing 50-75% above purchase price.
